[디어 애비로 배우는 생생 영어]

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been together for six years, married for four.
애비 선생님께: 저와 남편은 6년간 함께 했고, 결혼한 지는 4년이 되었습니다.


We have had a lot of marriage issues during the last few years, sexually and otherwise.
지난 몇 년간 저희 부부는 성적인 문제를 포함한 여러 결혼 생활 상의 문제를 겪었습니다.


I no longer trust him because of something I found out last year.
지난해 발견한 무언가 때문에 저는 더 이상 남편을 신뢰하지 않습니다.


I have his email information, and I also was able to see the search history from his phone on the computer.
저에게는 남편의 이메일 정보가 있어서 컴퓨터에서 남편의 핸드폰 검색 이력을 볼 수 있었습니다.


I discovered that he watches a lot of porn.
남편이 포르노를 아주 많이 본다는 사실을 알게 되었습니다.


I don't think it's a big deal because I know many men and women do.
다수의 남녀가 그렇다는 걸 알기 때문에 이건 별 문제가 아니라고 생각합니다.


But I saw he was also watching gay porn and searching for pictures of well-endowed guys.
하지만 저는 남편이 동성애 포르노를 보며 ‘물건'이 큰 남성들의 사진을 검색한다는 걸 알아냈습니다.


Does this mean my husband is gay and likes men?
(이러한 상황이) 남편이 동성애자이며 남자를 좋아한다는 걸 의미할까요?


Or does it just mean he likes different sexual things?
아니면 남편이 여러 성적 취향을 가지고 있다는 걸까요?


I'm not sure what to do.
어찌해야 할지 모르겠습니다.


I don't know if I should approach the subject with him.
이 주제에 대해서 남편에게 말해야 하는지 모르겠습니다.


I don't want him to know I'm snooping around, so how do I ask him about it without telling him how I know?
제가 염탐하고 있었다는 걸 몰랐으면 좋겠는데, 제가 이 사실을 어떻게 아는 지 말하지 않고 남편에게 물을 수 있는 방법이 있을까요?


Or should I just let it go?
아니면 그냥 잊어버려야 할까요?


— KNOWS TOO MUCH IN TEXAS
— 너무 많이 아는 텍사스 주민


DEAR KNOWS: Your husband may be bisexual, gay or bi-curious.
많이 아는 분께: 남편분께서는 양성애자 혹은 동성애자이거나 스스로가 양성애자일까 의심하고 있을 수 있습니다.


You wouldn't have checked his phone history if you hadn't felt "something" was wrong.
"무언가"가 잘못되었다고 느끼지 않았다면 독자분 역시 남편분의 핸드폰 이력을 확인하지 않았을 겁니다.


Do not let it go.
그냥 잊어버리지 마세요.


You will never know the truth unless you ask for it.
물어보기 전에는 독자분께서는 진실을 알아내실 수 없습니다.


This does not necessarily have to be a marriage-breaker.
이번 일은 반드시 결혼 파탄을 의미하지는 않습니다.


However, in case your husband has wandered (off the screen), call your doctor and ask to be tested for STDs.
하지만 남편분이 (화면에서 벗어나) 멀리 갔을 경우에 대비해, 담당 의사에게 전화해 성병 검사를 해달라고 요청하세요.
